The move will double the footprint of that branch, said John Worthington, a company spokesman. The lease for the bank ends Jan. 31 but there are plans to make the move by mid January, said Worthington.

No jobs will be lost.

Worthington said the bank decided to close the mall location because there wasn’t room to expand there. Plus, he added, upon renewing the lease the cost of rent was expected to increase.

The SSFCU branch at North Star Mall opened in 1994. It was the first SSFCU that opened inside a mall.

There are 70 SSFCU branches in Texas, Utah and Colorado. Twenty four of them are in San Antonio.
